Guest's review of Fusion Buffet, Northhampton

Visited this restaurant with group of friends on a Friday Night. 1st impressions were good, decor and ambience were nice (except the bouncers on the door felt a bit strange, but hey - ho).

Took a while to be seated at our table (which had been pre-booked but was not set when we arrived) and as we were a big group we were left standing at the bar which did not have any space around it so we blocked off the entrance for everyone else.

The table we were given had far too many chairs for the space available, we were elbow to elbow and only a few inches from the next table, making getting in and out difficult. As this is a restaurant where you need to get up to get your food, this should really be addressed.

The bar man was slow, forgot to give us one of the drinks he'd prepared, and the drinks were expensive (£4 for a small lemonade and half a pint of cider)

The food was nicely laid out, however the plates are kept warm in a plate warmer and we all burnt our hands as they were very hot and there was nothing to help hold them with (e.g. napkins?)

We were in there for around 2 hours, and i did not see any of the food trays replaced, just topped up, with more food on top, so i was concerned at how long some of the food had sat there keeping warm.

Also, the bill we were given had drinks on that we didn't order (cocktails?!?) and they gave us an incorrect bill (overcharged) 3 times.

Plates were whipped away before you've put down your fork and the staff looked miserable and nothing was explained to us about the concept etc (apparently there are special items you can order, but we didn't know).

You can eat all you like, theres a big range of stuff on offer and the desserts were really nice.

But Overall, I would not go back here and I would not take or recommend to friends.
